Preschool

My middle child had an orientation for her new preschool today.  We had a fabulous morning!!  We Mom slept in a little, we sent big sister to school, dropped little brother off to daycare, drove through Mickey D's for a parfait treat and took it to Mom's office.  Everyone fawned over her and at first she lavished the attention, but gradually decided it was too much and shied away.  I had a few things to accomplish, so she happily sat at my desk and chatted a thousand miles an hour and ate her parfait while Mom did boring things on the computer.  When it was time we held hands and skipped to the car (dropping the parfait in the parking lot, which made both of us giggle and hope local wildlife enjoy strawberries) and went to orientation.  We skipped into the building, met her teacher, played tag in the gym, had a snack and listened to the rules, then skipped back to the car to join little brother at daycare.

Thanks for the best morning I've had in a very long time, my way-too-big-too-soon baby girl.  I hope you have an amazing experience in your new school, and while I know you probably won't remember today just know that it meant the world to me to share it with you.
